Equipment

  • 1 Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices bacon Chopped into ½ inch pieces
  • ½ cup Onion Diced
  • 3 (16 oz) Cans Pork-N-Beans
  • ½ lb Smoked Sausage sliced, I used kielbasa
  • 1 tablespoon BBQ Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoon Yellow Mustard
  • ⅓ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ cup BBQ Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Prep the base: Chop the bacon and cook it over medium heat in a Dutch oven for about one minute. Add diced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until onions are soft.
  • Add the Sausage: Add diced smoked sausage to the Dutch Oven and cook until browned. Stir in your BBQ Seasoning once everything is nicely browned, then remove from the heat.
  • Add the Beans: Stir in the Pork-N-Beans, brown sugar, mustard, and BBQ sauce until everything is well combined.
  • Bake: Bake 45-55 minutes until thick and bubbly.

Notes

  • Deglaze Your Pan - After cooking the bacon and onions, add about 2 teaspoons of liquid to the pan to deglaze it. You want all the flavor you can get!
  • You can Make-Ahead - This recipe is perfect for summer prep; you can assemble the entire dish and refrigerate it until you're ready to bake. You will need about 15 extra minutes to the cooking time if baking from cold.
  • Low and Slow is Best- For the best flavor, let the beans bake low and slow so the sauce can thicken properly and the sausage flavor fully blends into the dish.

Storage

Refrigeration: Store the cooled leftover baked beans in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Freezing: Frozen baked beans will last up to 3 months. Place cooled beans in a freezer-safe container before freezing.
Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop. If needed, add a splash of beef stock or water to thin them out.
